Benefits of technology

This patent describes a surface treatment agent that forms a coating with good water-repellency, oil-repellency, and scratch resistance, regardless of vapor deposition conditions. The agent contains a fluorooxyalkylene group-containing polymer or a partially hydrolyzed and condensed product of the polymer. The polymer has a specific molecular weight distribution, with a decrease in weight of 75% or more when heated at a rate of 2 degrees C per minute and a pressure of 0.1 Pa or less. This decrease in weight ensures a high-quality coating that can withstand water and oil and can be vapor-deposited at mild temperatures. The polymer or composition should not contain too many lower molecular weight components with a vaporization temperature of lower than 150 degrees C or too many higher molecular weight components with a vaporization temperature of higher than 350 degrees C to achieve the desired coating quality.

Problems solved by technology

Therefore, there is a problem such that properties of a coating vary depending on vacuum deposition conditions.
Further, it is difficult to control a degree of vacuum and a temperature rise rate of a surface treatment agent, so that properties of a coating vary among batches even when the same apparatus is used.

synthesis example 1

[0061]50 Grams of the mixture of 95 mole % of the polymer represented by the formula (1a) and 5 mole % of the polymer represented by the formula (1b) was dissolved in a mixed solvent of 40 g of 1,3-trifluoromethylbenzene and 10 g of tetrahydrofuran. 30 Grams of a 40% solution of sodium bis(2-methoxyethoxy)aluminum hydride in toluene was added dropwise to the mixture and stirred at room temperature for 3 hours, to which an appropriate amount of hydrochloric acid was subsequently added and stirred well to make the mixture neutralized and, then, washed with water. A lower phase was taken out and subjected to distillation to remove the solvents to obtain 40 g of a liquid product. According to 19F-NMR analysis, the product obtained comprised 95 mole % of a polymer represented by the following formula (2a) and 5 mole % of a polymer represented by the following formula (2b).

Abstract

The invention provides a surface treatment agent wherein a fluorooxyalkylene group-containing polymer or a fluorooxyalkylene group-containing polymer composition comprising the polymers, which is controlled of a temperature range of vaporization of fluorooxyalkylene group-containing polymer(s). The fluorooxyalkylene group-containing polymer has a fluorooxyalkylene structure represented by —(OCF2)p(OCF2CF2)q— and hydrolysable groups bond to a silicon atom represented by the formula at least one terminal. The polymer composition shows a decrease of 75% or more in weight, relative to the total weight of the polymer, in a temperature range of from 150 to 350 degrees C. when this is heated at a rate of 2 degrees C. per minute and a pressure of 0.1 Pa or less. The present surface treatment agent forms a coating having water- and oil-repellency and scratch resistance regardless of a vapor deposition conditions, in particularly by a vapor deposition at a mild temperature such as 350 degrees C.

Description

[0001]This application claims the benefits of Japanese Patent application No. 2013-138249 filed on Jul. 1, 2013, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates to a fluorine-containing surface treatment agent and an article treated with the agent.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Compounds containing a perfluorooxyalkylene moiety generally have a very small surface free energy and, accordingly, have good water- and oil-repellency, chemical resistance, lubricity, a releasing property, and an antifouling property. Taking advantage of these properties, they are widely used as, for example, water- and oil-repellent agents or antifouling agents for paper and fiber, lubricants for magnetic storage media, oil-repellent components for precision apparatuses, releasing agents, cosmetics, and protective coatings. Recently, there is an increasing need for technology to attain fingerprint proofness or easy removal of fouling on...
